100% organic fertilizer

smokin · 06-29-2007, 09:50 AM

I use a really simple mix and would like some feedback on the subject.
all i do at the beginning of my season is to get a big load of stinging nettles, chop them up fill a large bucket with them top up with water add one or two cups of pee then cover for two weeks and hey presto great fertilizer even if it is a bit smelly. Any comments?

Why Nettles?, and why pee?Best fertilizer I've ever found was fishtank water which is loaded with micro-nutrients.

nettles are well known for being a good companion plant for weed and they are rich in many of the nutrients that weed needs to grow. and as for the the pee, that to contains trace elements vital to growing a good crop.

And yes I'm sure that there are many other good sources.

I'm using the nettle too with folic acid.......no pee for me!.
High in vitamin B and trace minerals........

pee has alot of nitrogen.

with my soil recipe.....there's plenty of nitrogen.

mind u a friend once told me he was using his new-borns wet nappies........and he was putting them around the plant.
this was back in the day when plastic liners didn't exist.

and he grew large trees i must add......

HATE TO SAY IT... but Miracle Grow is the mother fucking bomb. dont give it any until youve got a good root system, then mix it like 3 times recommended strength.
